#47 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Paintball eh? Not a bad "sport". Too bad for me though, the nearest paintball place is like an hours drive from me (I live in Australia) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/184902-anyone-here-paintball/#findComment-2397336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffneckting Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 OMG They were the days. Me and my mates bought our own guns and balls and used to play in the fields and woods in out village. I used to have a PGP (i think thats what it was called) oh yes here it is. Pump action, but only holds about 10 balls. Might have to take it up again. Ohh and i love the phooooomp sound they make. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/184902-anyone-here-paintball/#findComment-2397364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 LOL i love to paint ball with friends always did it during winter when it was snowing in white jump suits it was the best. other times is in summer at night, my friend has a a good amount of cash and bought very nice head mount night vision goggles and its very fun at night to play them, it reminds me of a game though lol :blush: .

Symbiotic Hat Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 We play a lot during the Spring & Fall. Summer is way too hot in Texas. We have our own field. It's not very large but it holds about 10 people well. I have a Tippman Model 98 gun but I'm looking to upgrade soon.

Max Veteran Posted July 1, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 1, 2004 I used to play a lot when I was 12/13. Now I am 16 and haven't played for years due to the fact that the whole day I worked out to cost about ?45 minimum.

Bloodwork Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Used to play, quit because of the cost factor (have to pay car insurance and all that good stuff now). We had a team that was pretty good. We brought home 3rd place at our last tourney. I had a Vision Impulse with some upgraded parts.

Danrarbc Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I do every now and then. Not enough to own my equipment, but enough to know the fields like the back of my hand. I'm not the guy that runs into enemy territory like crazy, I'll camp farther back and pick people off as they try to get my flag when playing cap the flag -- in elimination I'll camp near a high-traffic area :) I'm pretty tall so any other way I'd be a sitting duck, easy target.

Though Ive played with a 98 Custom before. Very nice gun too. I just hate hoppers because they always seem to get in the way. I s'pose its all personal preference though. Im thinking about buying this when it comes out though, if the price tag isnt too hefty: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/184902-anyone-here-paintball/#findComment-2403065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
